Descriere
Embassytown: a city of contradictions on the outskirts of the universe.
Avice is an immerser, a traveller on the immer, the sea of space and time below the everyday, now returned to her birth planet. Here on Arieka, humans are not the only intelligent life, and Avice has a rare bond with the natives, the enigmatic Hosts - who cannot lie.
Only a tiny cadre of unique human Ambassadors can speak Language, and connect the two communities. But an unimaginable new arrival has come to Embassytown. And when this Ambassador speaks, everything changes.
Catastrophe looms. Avice knows the only hope is for her to speak directly to the alien Hosts.
And that is impossible.
Recenzii
PRAISE FOR CHINA MIeVILLE
Embassytown
"I cannot emphasize enough how terrific this novel is. It's definitely one of the best books I've read in the past year, perfectly balanced between escapism and otherworldly philosophizing." --Io9.com
"Embassytown is a fully achieved work of art...Works on every level, providing compulsive narrative, splendid intellectual rigour and risk, moral sophistication, fine verbal fireworks and sideshows, and even the old-fashioned satisfaction of watching a protagonist become more of a person than she gave promise of being."
--Ursula K Le Guin
"A breakneck tale of suspense...disturbing and beautiful by turns. And yes--China Mieville's new novel is one of his best...I cannot emphasize enough how terrific this novel is."
--io9
"The Kafkaesque writer journeys to the distant edges of the universe in his latest sci-fi thriller."
--Entertainment Weekly
"Utterly astonishing...A major intellectual achievement."
"A fully achieved work of art."--Ursula K. Le Guin
"The most engrossing book I've read this year, and the latest evidence that brilliant, challenging, rewarding writing of the highest order is just as likely to be found in the section labeled Science Fiction as the one marked Literature.""--"Jim Higgins, "Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"
" "
"Original, sophisticated, bristling with subversive ideas, and filled with unforgettably alien images . . . an amazing, sometimes brutal rhapsody on the uses of language.""--The Christian Science Monitor"
" "
"Richly conceived . . . "Embassytown" has the feel of a word-puzzle, and much of the pleasure of figuring out the logic of the world and the story comes from gradually catching the full resonance of its invented and imported words.""--The New York Times Book Review"
" "
"MiEville's swing-for-the-fences gusto thrills. This is Big Idea Sci-Fi at its most propulsively readable.""--Entertainment Weekly"
"MiEville [is] one of today's most exciting fabulist writers.""--Los Angeles Times"
